SCENES FROM A SATURDAY

We got up early (for us) today, threw on some grubby clothes, went to breakfast at Saul's - one of our fave's in Berkeley - and then drove over to Tilden Park for a leisurely walk around Jewel Lake. We tried to do this a hike years before in this park and ended up on the wrong trail. What was supposed to be a quick jaunt through the forest turned into a grueling hike into the next county. Once we got back into cell phone range we had to call Alan's dad to come rescue us and drive us back to the car. Things went much smoother today. After our walk around the lake we visited The Little Farm. I wish I had known about this place because if you bring lettuce or celery the animals LOVE you.

ABOUT US

Welcome to casacaudill - I'm Becky and the handsome man to my left is my husband of 12 years, Alan. We are shamelessly and ruthlessly ruled by our 14-year-old Himalayan, Dakota. We live in Oakland, CA, and we both work in technology. When people ask us what our hobbies are, we often wonder if eating & drinking qualifies, since we're quite adept at both. I fancy myself a pretty decent cook and Alan is an excellent sous chef and dishwasher. Zinfandel is our drink of choice, but we've also never met a whiskey or bourbon we didn't like. My greatest passions in life are reading and traveling and my favorite places on earth are Hanalei, Kauai, County Kerry, Ireland, Islay, Scotland, and Tofino, British Columbia.
